Blurb

Joel Anderson doesn’t take anything seriously.

Not his relationships, which have been few and far between since his brutal divorce. Not the drama of working in a tattoo parlor, which seems to be around every corner. When things get him down, he smiles and cracks a joke. But he’s not the kind of man you cross, or you’ll find yourself at the wrong end of his fists.

Annika Belousov takes everything seriously.

Like her job as a reality television producer, given that she typically has something to prove. Or her love life, which is defined by a series of requirements — affluent, ambitious, accomplished, to name a few. Definitely her family, who worked their whole lives to afford her every opportunity, a sacrifice she doesn’t take lightly. When she’s tapped to produce a reality show at Joel’s shop, she doesn’t think twice, just goes in for the kill, as if there were any other way.

The second Annika walks into Joel’s shop, he makes it his mission to crack her open, but she’s not having it. He’s all wrong — too crass, too hairy, too un-serious. But it doesn’t take her long to find out there’s more to him than smirks and tattoos. And what she finds could put her career and his heart on the line.

Not that Joel cares. Because for the first time in a long time, he’s found his tonic.


Review:

4 out of 5 stars Kindle Copy for Review

Joel Anderson finds himself and his co-own family tattoo shop doing a reality tv show.  He is against the idea initially but when he hears that his ex wiiife and her husband an ex employee were also approached, he finally caves in.  He still is weary of relationship since his ex as they had a very volatile relationship when married.

Annika Belousov is the tv producer who takes everything too serious and has an icy demeanor.  She does not take kindly to his flirtatious behavior in the beginning despite their mutual attraction.   When it comes to family she has a soft side but when it comes to work she has a tough side where she does what needs to be done but at times the two sides collide.


Annika knows she should stay away from him but cannot help herself as she falls for him and vica versa but what will happen when conflict arises that will put them on opposing sides?  Will they bebe the end? able to move forward or will it be the end of them?  A nice romance story.

Author Bio


Staci has been a lot of things up to this point in her life: a graphic designer, an entrepreneur, a seamstress, a clothing and handbag designer, a waitress. Can't forget that. She's also been a mom, with three little girls who are sure to grow up to break a number of hearts. She's been a wife, even though she's certainly not the cleanest, or the best cook. She's also super, duper fun at a party, especially if she's been drinking whiskey. Her favorite word starts with f and ends with k.

From roots in Houston, to a seven year stint in Southern California, Staci and her family ended up settling somewhere in between and equally north, in Denver. They are new enough that snow is still magical. When she's not writing, she's sleeping, cleaning, or designing graphics.
